The present invention relates to improvements in clothes-hangers, andits main object is to pro- Vide a device of this character, whereby, aplurality of articles of clothing, such as dresses,

5 coats and the like, and trousers and skirts may be hung on a singlehanger. A further object of this invention is to provide a hanger ofsimple construction, cheap to manufacture, and yet strong and resistant.

The invention preferably consists in combining a plurality of superposedhanger members in one clothes-hanger, and also provide means ofsupporting trousers and skirts. The superposed hanger members are heldin fixed relation by a wire, terminating at one end in a hook, passingthrough suitable holes in said members, and formed, below, said members,in a horizontal hanger for supporting trousers. Means upon saidhorizontal hanger are provided to secure skirts or the like, and tubularspacing members, through which passes the wire, are located in betweeneach of said superposed members for suitably distancing them.

In the drawing:-`

Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of the device according to theinvention;

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawing, l, 2 and 3 are respectively superposed hangermembers the top member of which is of greater length than the second orthe one adjacent thereto, and the third shorter than the second member.This is of importance because, otherwise, it would not be convenient tohang a dress or any clothes upon all of said members. Each of saidmembers is supported by means of a wire which is bent at its uppermostend to form a hook 4, said Wire passing through a hole 5 provided ineach of said members l, 2 and 3, after which it is bent outwardly andparallelly to the underside of the lower member 3, and again bent toform a horizontal trouser hanger 6, said Wire being then inwardly bentto (o1. 22e-ss) engage the adjacent portion of the underside of thelower member and then passing through another series of holes 5 throughsaid hanger members l, 2 and 3, providing a pair of parallel legsextending through the openings, the free end of the wire being securedadjacent the hook 4.

The members I, 2 and 3, are suitably distanced from one another by meansof the tubular spacing members l, through which the Wire passes.

Upon the horizontal hanger 6, are mounted twc or more fabric tags 8,each provided with attaching means, such as safety pins 9, by means ofwhich skirts or like wearing apparel may be secured.

It should be readily understood that only a preferred form of theinvention is herein described and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, and that modifications may be made thereto, without departingfrom the spirit and scope of the following claims for novelty.

What I claim as my invention is:-

l. A clothes hanger comprising a series of hanger members decreasing inlength downwardly and each having spaced openings intermediate the ends,a wire member having parallel legs extending through the openings,spacer members on each leg between the hanger members for holding thelatter in spaced parallel relation, a hook at the upper end of the wiremember above the top hanger member and the lower end oi the wire memberbent to provide a hanger below the lower hanger member.

2. A clothes hanger comprising a series of hanger members decreasing inlength downwardly, a wire frame carrying the hanger members, means onthe wire frame between the hanger members for spacing them in parallelrelation, a hook at the upper end of the Wire frame above the upperhanger member, lateral extensions on the wire frame engaged with thelower hanger member and a hanger at the lower end of the wire framecarried by the extensions below the lower hanger member.
